Put them on until the snow comes. That way you can see if there are any alignment or other suspension issues with them on the car and fix them should anything come up. Then you know what to expect in the spring.

The C6 is a beast and handles like its on rails but the exhaust note of the GTO sounds alot meaner. I was very impressed by the GTO and have a new found respect for it. I also drove the SSR and it handled very well for a truck.

I’d put them on if you have the Rims& tires ready to go.
Just have the snows ready to install at the first sign of white shit.
Does that thing have traction control or LSD to help in the snow? I can’t imagine even studded snows doing much with that kind of power underfoot.

Yeah I went Sunday. I got there at 8am and drove every car and truck I wanted to. I drove the GTO atleast 10 times and got several warnings about driving it too hard.
Grant, you can go everytime if you fill out this card at the end.
